Yes, ignore any science without looking at it that threatens what they brainwashed you into believing.A virus changing shape is still a virus.You mean the experiment doesn't understand evolution. The article simply reported on the longest running experiment on evolution ending in failure.Unfortunately, that article a fatal misunderstanding of how evolution functions.
Genetic mutation doesn't happen to adapt fitness to the environment. Genetic mutations are unrelated to the suitability of the organism to survive. Genes have no way of perceiving the requirements of survival in the environment. Genetic mutations are spontaneous and random and are mostly inconsequential to the organism, frequently harmful, and only occasionally useful in adaptability to the environment. When a mutation is useful, that increases the likelihood of it being passed on to future generations.
The experiment proves that organisms mutate and that those mutations are passed on. It would be highly unlikely for a major adaptive change to occur -- particularly in the closed and controlled environment of the experiment -- in as few as 70,000 generations. Human evolution happened over 85 million years or 6.5 million generations.
And no, mutations are not beneficial to any organism.
And as I posted in another thread, DNA research shows humans, apes, aardvarks, etc all appeared at the same time, less than 200K years ago according to their timescale.

They're helpful to all sorts of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
It wasn't my study and it wasn't me to call for its end.

Bacteria....much bigger than viruses.
Viruses also benefit from mutations.

Wow.....that's some bad research.
Massive Genetic Study Reveals 90 Percent Of Earth’s Animals Appeared At The Same Time
The evolution of modern humans has been studied from several disciplines with detail unique among animal species. Mitochondrial barcodes provide a commensurable way to compare modern humans to other animal species. Barcode variation in the modern human population is quantitatively similar to that within other animal species. Several convergent lines of evidence show that mitochondrial diversity in modern humans follows from sequence uniformity followed by the accumulation of largely neutral diversity during a population expansion that began approximately 100,000 years ago. A straightforward hypothesis is that the extant populations of almost all animal species have arrived at a similar result consequent to a similar process of expansion from mitochondrial uniformity within the last one to several hundred thousand years.

Weird, I couldn't find the claim, " humans, apes, aardvarks, etc all appeared at the same time, less than 200K years ago according to their timescale" in the actual study.
Maybe you'll have better luck?
